Poor Bailey

Because of the weather, we can no longer drive to Texas for Christmas. After much stress, we finally have plane tickets for Monday. We were so excited that we were going to be able to bring Bailey with us, but now she has to stay here. When Kaylee found out that we would be flying, her eyes teared up because she couldn't bring her best friend with us. Steve and Kaylee dropped her off this morning, and I already miss her. I know it seems silly, but I'm so sad about her not coming to Texas with us. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that this all happened so fast and I had no time to mentally prepare for it. Again, I know, silly - but she is the sweetest and best dog in the world. I think she will be more than fine. She gets a turkey dinner on Christmas day. Maybe they will post some pictures. www.greenacrespetresort.com

Merry Christmas, Bailey! We miss you already!

Snow, Snow, Go Away!

Every time I think the snow is slowing, it starts up heavier again. I just took these. Keep in mind, it's 4:00 in the afternoon. And yes, as you can tell from Kaylee still being in her pj's with bed head, our day has been very productive. I hope that we will be able to still make it to Texas. I can't bear the thought of being here on Christmas. It would be a pretty miserable Christmas since I had all the presents mailed to Texas. Let's also pray that Steve makes it home safely tonight.

Snow Day

Today, school was cancelled because of the ice and snow. It didn't snow today, but Kaylee wanted to play in what was left from yesterday. She was determined to build a snowman, but the snow was too powdery and there wasn't enough of it to make a good one. Here are some pictures of what we ended up with and Kaylee playing in the snow.

Battalion Christmas Party

Sunday was our Battalion Christmas party. I told Steve that we should stay home because the weather so was so terrible, but he assured me it just wasn't that bad. We drove through a blizzard to get there, and a 30 minute trip home took us an hour. It was pretty terrifying to watch the cars in front of you slipping all over the road knowing you were about to go over that same part of the road. My knuckles were white and by the time we got home, I felt like I was going to vomit from being so tense the whole time. But, we did get a picture with Santa. Woohoo!


Getting ready to go

Rawr!

I've been looking for something warm to put on Wyatt when I have to take him out to go get Kaylee from school. Today, I found this. Adorable! I think Steve will hate it, but I couldn't resist.

Nutcracker

This past weekend was Kaylee's dance theater's performance of The Nutcracker. They did two performances on Saturday and one on Sunday. She did a great job and looked beautiful. Her class did the Mother Ginger scene. We were told we couldn't take any pictures and if we were caught with cameras they would be confiscated. They take their dance very seriously. It's very unlike me, but I did manange to bend the rules, and I snuck in some pictures of her before she went on.
